Fulham ace Mitrovic blitzes Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi’s goals record and celebrates with a slice of pizza

FULHAM ace Aleksandar Mitrovic blitzed Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi’s international goals record and celebrated his feat with a slice of pizza.

The striker, 28, scored in Serbia’s 2-0 win over Norway on Tuesday.

Mitrovic scored his 50th Serbia goal in the 2-0 win over Norway

The Fulham striker reached the milestone quicker than Ronaldo and Messi

Mitrovic‘s second half strike put him on 50 international goals for his country.

It’s an impressive achievement.

But it’s even more impressive that he managed to reach 50 international goals in just 76 games.

Even all-time international goal scorer Ronaldo, 37 and seven-time Ballon d’Or winner Messi, 35, didn’t manage to do it that quick.

It took Manchester United ace Ronaldo 114 games to reach 50 goals for Portugal.

And for Paris Saint-Germain and Argentina main man, Messi, it took 107 games.

To celebrate the landmark, Mitrovic celebrated in the changing rooms by eating a slice of pizza.

Serbian fans are saying Mitrovic eating pizza is a post-match tradition after a big win.

Mitrovic was also snapped eating pizza following the Championship play-off final win over Aston Villa in 2018.

The win for Serbia has also seen them be promoted to League A of the Nations League.

They finished top of League B, Group 4.

Mitrovic’s goal-scoring form on the international stage should come as no surprise considering his stats last season, as well as this season for Fulham.

The physical striker has six Premier League goals in seven games played this term.

And as a result, Fulham sit sixth in the table.
